Wow, catching up again......superb painting, absolutely superb. This is a masterclass in painting Pete. Wish I could paint like this, it's inspiring.
Look forward to seeing this completed....this year.

Plus Bob, if you painted like me you'd never get anything finished!!

Hi Pete

Cracking trouser work on this , got to say the sheer amount of detail painting you’ve done is incredible, a pleasure to follow and a excellent result so far

So looking forward to seeing more

Have fun

Slow down, slow down, we can't keep up.......

Looking really good. Just one show and a small patch of earth to go.....

This really is a beautifully painted figure, it has been a pleasure to watch you (nearly) complete it.

Thank you Nigel! It's been a high speed painting experience hasn't it....lol.
I'm always a little reluctant to put up what is often minimal progress compared to some, but I invest SO much time on these little guys that any progress is big progress to me and pushes me on. Glad you like what you've seen and found it enjoyable. Thanks again. Regards Pete

 

[Briggsy]

Any progress is good and worth showing, especially so we'll painted as it is.

Cheers Simon

 

[Tommy Atkins]

Thanks Simon. Regards Pete

 

[David Spencer]

A very nice job indeed.
He looks a nasty S.O.B. though.
Not someone to invite over for dinner.

Am I right, thinking you painted this with enamels?

 

[Tommy Atkins]

Thanks David! He does look a bit like some of the clientele that I've met during my police service. And yes, mostly Humbrol enamels with a bit of acrylic/ oils as well. Thanks for commenting. Regards Pete

Well, that's interesting. And good to know.
It's a smashing bit of painting.

Troop 54 and related products aren't easy to find. The Stormtroopers website is a tad enigmatic.
Where did you get this figure from?
Any information appreciated.

Hi David, I usually order direct from Troop54 through their website. This figure is one of their older ones though and don't think it is available (from Stuart at least) any more. I actually picked it up in person at Euro Militaire many moons ago. Regards Pete

 

[David Spencer]

Thanks for replying. I'll keep an eye on them.

I know I've said it before, this is excellent brushwork.
